First Post! Lacquer box

[sakou_bielefelt]

Hello all! I found this amazing community via the LJ spotlights and I felt like I just had to post something XD. It's still at a WIP stage but you can see the general idea behind it :3





DESIGNS

Front: Tsarina Catherine's Summer Palace, St-Petersburg --> [link]

Side A: Kremlin, St-Basil's Cathedral, Moscow --> [link]

Back: Kremlin, Red Square, Moscow --> [link]

Side B: Church of Resurrection on Spilled Blood, St-Petersburg --> [link]

Border: Russian flower-pattern, typical in traditional painting

Originally, I had planned on drawing Ivan on top of the box, but after popular vote out on dA, I decided to go with the "plain" flag instead (besides, it fits more with the overall style of my box!).

I'm hoping to sell this one once it's completed, as well as maybe take a few commissions! ♥

ConCrit is most welcomed ^__^
